Don’t Buy That House

What to worry about at the inspection, what not to, and how to buy a home that sells for more later.

Especially useful on an older home — or if this is the first one you’ve ever bought.

From the seller guide

Two agents said $450,000.
It sold for $710,000.

Same room. Same beams, same brick, same floor. About $10,000 in cleaning, pest control, paint and staging — and nothing structural changed. The other two agents priced a two-bedroom ranch, because that is all they could see.

The house didn’t need a major renovation. It needed to show buyers what it was worth.

I’ve spent years watching buyers walk through homes — and watching sellers spend money in the wrong places.

These guides aren’t theory. They’re built on what I have actually watched change how a buyer sees a house, and what it finally sold for.
